Since I posted my problem with this, I contacted Adobe and someone from tech support in India took control of my computer and poked around in it for about an hour. He said he’d call me the next day, but he didn’t (I got something from Adobe the following day saying as far as they were concerned my problem was solved…pretty infuriating). I went back to working with CS6, then an update appeared and I ran it. In the meantime I also replaced my old Decklink card with a new mini monitor from BM as I only needed SDI out. Loaded the newest drivers, and I have to say, it’s all working fine now in CC. So some mojo clearly needed to happen, but I couldn’t say what it was.

I have experienced all these instabilities and more. Once I disabled output through my old Black Magic card to my SDI monitor they about 90% went away. Of course now I can’t monitor except on my other Cinema display, but I’ve just ordered a new BM Monitor Mini which I’m told by BM should work fine with CS6.
BUT yesterday I downloaded Premiere Pro CC and it will not play any media files. Period. Hit the play button in the source or program monitors and the triangle turns into a square, and that’s it. No joy.
I REALLY love how Premiere CC has upgraded many features that basically give it more of the functionality of FCP7, I’m sure what I’m experiencing here has a solution, and I’m eager to find it. Eager!

All valid points, gentlemen, thank you. I know it’s probably a pipe dream, but I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t be alone in supporting this idea with my enthusiasm and my wallet. The main hassle that I could see would be a legal one, and nobody in their right mind would do battle with Apple over this if Apple didn’t want to let it go. There’s just something heroic to me about rescuing this fine piece of software that so many of us have used with satisfaction, still runs like a top, and has so many advantages (or so it seems to me) over others. The interface was truly something marvelous. It says something to me that so many are still using it after years of it not being updated. But hey, I can respect evolution, as long as it gives us something better than we had before. Avid, Premiere and FCPX all do that in some ways, but the overall experience of working in those programs doesn’t satisfy me like my old standby does.
